Was a little behind on posting this. I got swamped this week at the office. Better Late than Never! Right?!? :)

The last two weeks have been pretty amazing.

The shape of my body has really started to change and I am seeing some definite health benefits. The Blood Pressure is down to 125/77 and the resting heart rate sits around 77-85 on a regular basis.

At the end of week 2 I had lost around 8lbs.

At the end of week 3 I had lost around 12….but then something happened….

I mixed up my workout routine and I made a small (but easily fixable) mistake. I didn’t match my food intake to the new program. The new program is a much higher intensity workout than what I had been doing and my body wasn’t getting enough nutrition to support it. Alot of people believe that a hard workout and little food is the way to go to lose weight. Those people would be wrong.

You have to match your intake to your output or your body decides that it has to start conserving. The day that I started eating more was the day that the weight loss started back. I actually gained four pounds back before I made the tiny tweak.

At the end of the first month of this, we are starting something a little different on the food side. You can read all about it at http://www.bluffee.com/2010/04/07/30-days-at-the-poplar-bluff-bread-company/.

I am super excited with the progress so far.

I took a few pictures at the beginning of this and I’m really nervous about posting them…. Going to have to think about that one :)

“Hills and Valleys” Lyrics

I’m on top of the world
I can see it all around me
Such beautiful words
Leaving and oceans
(Woo-hoo, Woo-hoo)
I can feel it
Never felt this before
(Woo-hoo)
Yeah, yeah

I got a beautiful woman
We’re coming off of
The hard end of harder times
Gonna be starting something
That gets us straight up outta here
(Woo-hoo, Woo-hoo)

I can fix it
Let me take us away
(Woo-hoo)
Yeah, we leave at night
We stay by day

Say you’re with me
There’s gold ahead
There’s golden dreams
And life’s hills and valleys
(Woo-hoo)
Yeah, will you hold on with me?
(Woo-hoo, Woo-hoo)
Let me take us
Let me take us away
(Woo-hoo, Woo-hoo)
Away

We drove out to California
Straight through the desert of Arizona
Sweet Texas, I’ll kiss ya
Hope to be back
But now I gotta leave ya
(Woo-hoo, Woo-hoo)

I can fix it
Let me take us away
(Woo-hoo)
Yeah, we leave at night
We stay by day

Say you’re with me
There’s gold ahead
There’s golden dreams
And life’s hills and valleys
(Woo-hoo)
Yeah, will you hold on with me?
(Woo-hoo, Woo-hoo)
Let me take us
Let me take us away
(Woo-hoo, Woo-hoo)

I wouldn’t know just how sweet this tastes now
No, if at first I did not go through
the bitter times, the bitter places
I’ll stay alert for new battles
But, for now, we’re here

Say you’re with me
There’s gold ahead
There’s golden dreams
And life’s hills and valleys
(Woo-hoo)
Yeah, will you hold on with me?
(Woo-hoo, Woo-hoo)
Let me take us
Let me take us away
(Woo-hoo, Woo-hoo)
Let me take us
Let me take us away
(Woo-hoo, Woo-hoo)
Let me take us
Let me take us away
(Woo-hoo, Woo-hoo)

]]> Just something that I thought was cool:

My Good friend Kim King just launched her Website.
She is a local Poplar Bluff Real Estate Agent and her website is a personal account of her adventures in
the Real Estate World. Its a very interesting blog and I’ve already learned alot about what a Real Estate
Agent’s day to day life must be like her in Poplar Bluff.

If you get a second check her site out at Poplar Bluff Real Estate or Poplar Bluff Homes For Sale.
